A brief statement explains: "Mike says 'hello' and sends his love. He's made a mix for you from The Lake, with just guitars and bass, and he invites you to make your own versions of it. He says he's not much good at interviews or selfless, so there will not be a new movie of Mike talking – but he hopes you'll enjoy this little piece of music."

The set will be released on October 20. Tubular Bells II, The Songs Of Distant Earth, Voyager and _Tubular Bells III _are to be released on 180g vinyl at the same time.
